SawasDee (Hello) from Thailand!!

---

Hong Kong is dead, long live Hong Kong.....!!

HK was great, would definatly recommend it as a holiday destination! Shopping
was good, except we had no money or space!!

All you punks who slated Bangkok..........u were SOOOOO wrong! Arrived this
evening, and are staying on this little road just away from Khao San Road.
It's great with all these cheapo bars that serve food. I am loving it so
far. DON'T STAY ON KHAO SAN ROAD !

Accomodation = Sawasdee Thrunkrep Inn on Soi Rambutri. 500 Baht per night, cheap but adequate.

Had only planned to stay 2 nights but 4/5 now looks on the cards and that
would mean we can meet up with Matt Walsh and go on the lash with him.

Bumped into some lads from home in Hong Kong, wouldn't you know it! For those who
know them it was Andy Orr (Primary school friend & former band
member of Six, the Irish Popstars group), and Anto Moyles (DCU soccer team). We
went our for dinner, beers, and to see the Red Light Area......funny stuff
indeed!!

Food and drink here in Thailand are crazy cheap......bigger than a pint bottle of beer
is 1.60 euro, maincourse meal is about 1.50 euro.

Accomodation is grand indeed. Aircon and all for 10 euro a night between
us! A good safe bet in a great location, 3/4 mins walk from Ko San Road but much quieter.

Weather is a big change, from 25 degrees in HK to 35 degrees here.....

Not missing Eire,

Phil
